Chapter 561: Great Power Weapon
The report on "The Story Behind "Love Letter"" in Renren Daily attracted a lot of attention.
Because the report said that the "Love Letter" was a gift from Gu Lu to President Wang to promote his hometown. Even if the words came from the mouth of the leader of the Heilongjiang Youth League, it was hard to believe, and it was fortunate that President Wang had "evidence".
Finally, Renren Daily summarized: [Hengdaohezi, a small town in the west of Xuecheng with a population of only 3.2, became completely popular between February 2 and 14.
Relevant statistics show that in 2022, around Valentine's Day, Hengdaohezi received a total of 31.6 tourists, an increase of 218.2% over the same period last year. Among them, the Love Library donated by Pingpingguo Culture Company, as a popular attraction, received 16.11 tourists. This data makes Hengdaohezi Love Library the scenic spot with the highest increase in tourists among the newly built tourist attractions. ］
Netizen Tianxuan Xiaomichong asked: "I don't understand, what's so good about a library? Are there any good ones like Diaozhou Library, Lonely Library, and Liyuan Library? I don't understand, 160,000 visitors a week, equivalent to 20,000 visitors a day, are these people so boring? If it weren't for the data released by Renren Daily, I would really suspect that the small county was talking nonsense for political achievements."
It is normal to be skeptical. After all, the electronic version of Renren Daily and the photos of the Love Library are - to put it mildly, very dreamy.
Whether it is the dark brown bookshelf or the doors and windows that look a bit old, Tianxuan Xiaomiong just doesn’t understand. What’s the point of looking at them?
Netizens responded immediately to this question.
Iceberg Cookies: "You haven't seen the movie Love Letter, right? The Love Library is an important scene in the movie. If I wasn't studying abroad in Seoul, I would also want to check in after watching the movie. Whether the library is nice or not is another matter. The main thing is the feeling after watching the movie."
Tianxuan Xiaomie couldn't understand it even more. "Is there really anyone who would go to a movie scene just to check in? Besides, you can also watch domestically released movies in Seoul?"
Green Screen: "Ordinary movies definitely won't do that, but Love Letter - whether it's a love movie or a promotional movie, it's extremely successful. The light touch of emotion you feel after watching it can last for a long time."
Shi Yue Shi Ming: "This is not the best movie. I have seen many better ones, but Love Letter will become the movie of my life. If I have the chance, I would also like to go to Hengdaohezi to watch it."
Regardless of whether they admit it or not, with the explanations of many netizens, those netizens who could not understand it were able to intuitively feel the publicity power of "Love Letter".
Even netizens from Heilongjiang Province said: "Thanks for not using dialect in the movie", "Who dares to say that girls from our three northeastern provinces are not gentle? Xiao Wanyue and Chu Tengshu proved it for us", "What? There are only one stone of sweet girls from the northeast, and Chen Xiaoxu alone has nine buckets. These are all blatant slanders. I feel like my personality is similar to that of Chu Tengshu"...
Northeastern girls have expressed their concerns over why Gu Lu chose to write this story in Hengdaohezi. It is because Love Letter is not a science fiction film, but a documentary!
Many men from the three northeastern provinces tagged @Gu Lu Da Wang, "You said that Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people."
Of course, some netizens were able to find the core of the problem, which was "Isn't it that the most surprising thing is that Gu Lu can promote any place he wants?"
Yeah, that's scary.
According to Renren Daily’s interview with President Wang, before the movie was released, Gu Lu said in advance that he would give him a gift to "promote his hometown."
Looking at the world's big directors, who dares to say that their work will be a success before the movie is released? Not to mention the success of "bringing goods".
King Guru didn’t know how much surprise his action brought to netizens. Most importantly, the country had a new understanding of him.
At a national meeting, a certain leader mentioned this: "We still underestimated the influence of Comrade Gu Lu, or we have path dependence. Comrade Gu Lu brought convenience to our diplomacy with France, Britain, and the Bear Country, so we think Comrade Gu Lu is a diplomatic 'weapon'."
"We have forgotten that Comrade Gu Lu also has a huge influence on the domestic tourism industry." The leader's tone became stern. "In addition, let me say in advance that creation is free. Comrade Gu Lu has the freedom to promote a certain tourist attraction. I don't want some of us to comment on Comrade Gu Lu's creations." Listen to this!
Let’s review the important words: “diplomatic weapon” and “do not want to express opinions”.
These two words, one determines Gu Lu’s current status, and the other gives Gu Lu’s works a golden medal of immunity.
Because the chief's words were a precautionary measure to prevent some officials who only care about GDP from using tricks to invite Gu Lu to write. But at the same time, the General Administration of Press and Publication dared not have any opinions on the books published by Gu Lu, because Gu Lu was free to create.
It has reached the top. It can be said that as a literati who does not participate in politics, King Guru has reached the top.
This is not a coincidence, and it is no wonder that the "love letter incident" has reached the ears of the emperor. Hengdaohezi has such a successful case, but in fact, the local government has not invested much financial resources, but more support in terms of manpower and town government policies. The most important thing is that "Love Letter" has been put online and seen by more people. This wave of Hengdaohezi will be able to benefit for at least five years, at least!
Every year, a city becomes the focus of tourism, but that is unstable and uncontrollable, and short-lived, while Gu Lu is controllable and long-lasting. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a powerful tool for tourism promotion.
The chief's words were passed down layer by layer, causing many officials who were preparing to use connections to give up.
I dare not say it to your face, but I can hint at it indirectly.
"President Jian, you should be Mr. Gu Lu's mentor, right?"
For example, President Jian received a call from the top leader of Leting County. I believe you can guess that President Jian’s career is in Sijiu City, but his hometown is Matouying Town, Leting County, Tangcheng, Hebei Province.
"You can't say he's a good mentor," President Jian said with a faint smile. "Gu Lu has been talented since middle school. I just happened to see him at the Ye Shengtao Cup. If it were any other colleague, they would have noticed it too."
Being humble is one thing, but cherishing talent and providing resource assistance is another.
"So, President Jian, do you think you should have a copy of a gift like Love Letter?"
Hearing this, President Jian's smile gradually disappeared. He said, "Most of Xiao Gu's works are published by the publishing house where I work. This is already a great reward."
“It is indeed a return, but…”
The county leader wanted to say something, but was interrupted by President Jian, "At least, I think that my early help and the return to Xiao Gu after he became famous have already been repaid. If the leader wants Ma Tou Ying to replicate Hengdaohezi, then I think there is no way."
Just refuse directly. After all, President Jian is an old veteran with many years of experience!
